Robert Scoble leaves Microsoft for podcast startup

The big news this weekend is that Microsoft evangelist and notable bogger Robert Scoble is leaving Redmond to join young startup PodTech.net. The story was broken by blog Beet.TV and, after much bouncing around the blogosphere, finally landed at Scoble's blog where he confirmed it and straightened out a few of the facts. He's hasty to point out that he was not unhappy at Microsoft, saying, "I love Microsoft and Microsoft did not lose me-at least as a supporter and friend. I am not throwing away my Tablet PC or my Xbox or my other Microsoft stuff." Scoble will be joining PodTech.net as VP of Media Development. For endless discussion take a look at the waterfall of threads on the topic at Techmeme.
